XYDONIA / ザイドニア

Comments

XYDONIA takes me back to my childhood experiences as an arcade junkie and a pinball wizard.

The gameplay blows me away as being as close to true to real arcade performance as possible. Even on an XBox One controller, the game controls and feels like I'm behind an arcade cabinet. Hey, if you make enough money on the Kickstarter, you should build an arcade cabinet build of this!

Graphically, it's absolutely beautiful. It's impossible to truly emulate the CRT experience, but y'all do an incredible job making this look as close to the real thing as possible. The same thing goes with the soundtrack.

In the end, XYDONIA's come a long away from an already amazing alpha a few months ago. It's going to be interesting how much higher y'all set the bar as they continue production on this game.

I had to comment as this game is just stunning on every level! I'm a big retro arcade shoot 'em up fan (I collect old arcade cabs and PCBs) and I can't recall the last shoot 'em up to feel like a true 90's arcade classic. You've nailed it on every level. Like the person below, I came here searching for a way of donating money to the project or finding a way of paying for the game but I see you have a Kickstarter coming which is great news indeed. Consider me a backer and someone that will spread the word around!

Good luck with your continued development, I can't wait to see more of this game!

Thank you very much! We're working very hard in order to make a game that looks, sounds and feels as close to the arcade classics as possible, so we're always very pleased to get this kind of feedback from retrogamers. We're about to complete a new demo build, which we're going to release very soon. We'll soon announce the Kickstarter's launch date as well, so keep an eye on our social pages!

Thanks! One of the main reasons we started doing this was having exactly the same wish, so we ended up making it ourselves! We're doing our best and we're always happy to see you guys so excited by our work!

If you want to support us, there will be a way to do so very soon, as we are setting up a crowdfunding campaign that will be launched in the next months. This will give us the chance to fully focus on the game and speed up its development, which is advancing steadily, but currently has to coexist with whatever we do to pay our bills. :)

Anyway, feel free to follow us on Twitter/Facebook if you're interested in our progress!
